The Buster density meter from Campbell/Harris Security Equipment Company (CSECO) has been recognized as the “gold standard” of density meters. It is hailed not only for its overall performance and durability but also for its safety.

The Buster K910B density meter is the first version launched by CSECO way back in the 1980s. It was developed, designed, and tested by the company founder Patrick J. Harris with the direct input from the US Customs and Border Protection (CBP) field agents.

Before getting to the safety part, first, let’s go to the things that make the Buster excellent. First of all, it’s the sophisticated technology that it uses. It emits a low-intensity gamma radiation and a scintillation detector. So what does that mean? It can do a lot of things that will help law enforcement do their job in locating and seizing contraband in just a matter of minutes.

The Buster can be used to scan many different types of materials that include wood, metal, reinforced plastic, concrete, even organic matter like soil and liquids. The Buster is commonly used, by CBP agents, for example, to inspect every vehicle that passes the major borders in the US. But it can also be used on anything and anywhere else, such parts of a space (wall, ceiling, and floors), container vans, furniture, and lots more.

Since its launch, the Buster has helped seize billions of dollars worth of narcotics, illegal drugs, tons of cash and other contraband such as alcohol, weapons, and explosives. That’s why the Buster is the most recommended contraband detection weapon widely used not only on the major borders but also at major checkpoints, airports, seaports, and terminals.

The Buster K910B has helped in stemming the flow of illegal drugs and smuggling. But there’s more — it has also helped protect people and the environment from the dangers of radioactivity. It has RAD-Aware technology which detects dangerous radioactive levels. Once the Buster detects it, the inspector (first responder) will be able to set up safe zones to keep other inspectors and civilians away from the dangers of the dirty bomb or radioactive leaks.

Despite the Buster having a long history of success in seizing drugs and contraband, CSECO hasn’t stopped making improvements on it. Recently, they launched a newer version of the Buster, the K910G, which emphasizes safety even more.

The Buster K910G has pretty much the same features and functions as the K910B, but it is now made a lot safer for use and for the environment. The smaller radioactive source (at least 25% smaller than any other density meter) and the elimination of all potentially harmful lead components (that are present in the K910B) makes the Buster K910G the safest density meter out there. Buster K910G also now has faster electronics.

Why would you look for other density meters when the Buster K910G Density Meter is there to answer all your inspection needs? It has been long proven in stemming the flow of drugs and other contraband, has the ability to detect traces of radioactivity, and is now much safer than ever to use.

The Buster K910B Density Meter aka Buster is the first and still the most recommended contraband detection tool manufactured by Campbell-Harris Security Equipment Company (CSECO). It is widely used by police and other law enforcement agents around the country, as well as the Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officers in detecting drugs, narcotics, cash and other contraband and smuggled items.

What makes the Buster stand out among other contraband detecting tools? Well for one thing, it uses the latest technology that makes the Buster a cutting-edge density meter and detection tool. It uses a low-intensity gamma radiation emitter and scintillation detector — both amazing features that enable agents and inspectors to scan for any type of contraband and any type of surface being scanned, quickly and efficiently.

Forget the other contraband detection tools that use much older technologies such as ultraviolet wave, millimeter wave, microwave or radio wave. These kinds of technologies render the other tools limited in their detecting capability. They can scan one or two types of material, or can detect just a few hidden items. The Buster’s abovementioned features enable it to detect and locate a variety of contraband material, as well as on various type of surfaces like wood, metal, rubber and reinforced plastic and concrete, among many others.

When agents and inspectors use the Buster, they don’t have to externally damage shipping containers, tear up the walls, destroying furniture, etc. They would do so only when the Buster positively confirms the presence of a hidden contraband. How? The device has both audible and visual readouts which gives the indication that contraband is indeed present. The audible alarm makes a sound when contraband is located. Its LCD display provides a clear and positive indication that such anomalies are indeed located on a certain area being scanned.

Like any other density meters, the Buster measures the density of any object being scanned against the density that is known for that material. When the Buster positively sends any indication of a contraband, it signals the officers/agents to do a thorough investigation.

Detecting hidden narcotics and other concealed drugs — either illegal or legally prescribed — is still a tough one to crack. Thanks to the advancement of technology, CSECO was able to come up with a contraband detection tool that is foolproof, durable, reliable, effective, providing concrete results, portable, easy to use and safe. The Buster seems to have all these qualities! That’s why is the best tool of its kind not only for narcotics detection but also contraband detection purposes.

Echoing the home shopping channel cliché: but wait, there’s more! The Buster can detect not only narcotics and contraband, but it can also locate the presence of radiation. The Buster is now equipped with the RAD-Aware technology, which enables it to detect and identify any indication of radioactive material. This allows first responders to establish safety perimeters from a possible dirty-bomb detonation or any radioactive release.

The Buster K910B is the product of CSECO’s combined technologies and brilliant innovation. That’s why it still remains the “gold standard” for contraband detection to many law enforcement agencies not only in the US but around the world as well.

These qualities, features and functions make the Buster K910B Density Meter to stand out among all other contraband detection tools. For more information, contact CSECO by calling 510-864-8010 or sending an email to info@cseco.com.
